Collings CJ Guitar All Mahogany with No Tongue Brace ID-10453

Collings CJ Guitar

The Collings Jumbo, or CJ, is Collings' version of the classic slope-shouldered dreadnought, a shape that has enjoyed renewed popularity in recent years. While the Collings CJ is similar in width and depth to the traditional dreadnought, it has a distinctly different tone.

Despite its large size this model works well with the optional shorter string scale, resulting in a somewhat percussive bottom end ideal for acoustic blues or other styles that benefit from a more controlled bass response.

This guitar is great news for those who prefer mahogany. The top end is sweet and crisp; with a driving, focused midrange and low-end. It strums with the best of them, but has a neck that flatpicks beautifully across the board. The Mahogany back and sides keep your lead lines clear and distinct, just like the classic flatpicking recordings we've grown to love from players like Clarence White, Doc Watson, and Norman Blake.

The custom appointments on this already wonderful guitar include a custom 1 3/4" nut width, herringbone purfling, a mahogany top, a walnut stain, and the absence of a Tongue Brace. Hardshell case is included.
